Charity that allegedly gave just 1 cent of every $1 to cancer victims is sued for deceiving donors

[Aussie105]

11. Not the first time nor the last time

that a 'charity' benefits the wrong people.

The control of finances need to be taken away from actual charities, using oversight by a reputable financial organization that tracks in and outgoing of donations and expenses.
And the head of any charitable organisation had better be very frugal in his request for a regular paycheck.
A $775,139 salary for the charity's president, Gregory Anderson, just isn't on!

Some Churches are well known for this, unfortunately.
And don't get me started on fake charity collectors in shopping centres!

Short of finding someone you personally want to donate to face-to-face, there is no way around this rorting.

I'd personally rather give a person in need - genuine need - $50 than donate 10 cents to any charity.
Same for animal welfare organizations - no donations, but I'd rather walk into a shelter and ask them what they need, and go out and buy food, bedding, whatever.
